Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions that come up most often before an engagement begins. If yours is not here, write to us and we'll answer personally.
What is included in accounting services?
The scope is tailored to the company and set out precisely in the quote and the agreement. It can cover day-to-day bookkeeping, tax returns, payroll, the annual report, management reporting and other agreed work.
How is the price determined?
The price depends on the number of documents and transactions, the number of employees, the volume of tax and reporting work, the complexity of transactions, document handling, and the initial state of the accounts.
What information do you need to prepare a quote?
Usually your field of activity, VAT status, the average number of documents and bank operations, employees, any foreign transactions, the software you use, and the reports you need.
Do you work with new companies?
Yes. We can help set up the initial accounting arrangements, document flow, a deadline calendar and the access rights required.
Can you take over the accounts from another accountant?
Yes. Before taking over, we review the data received, the balances, the returns already filed and any missing documents. If prior periods need tidying up, we prepare a separate plan of work for it.
How are documents handed over?
Mainly electronically, using a secure method of data exchange agreed in advance. The exact arrangements and deadlines are set at the start of the engagement.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes, most of the process can be handled remotely. If a face-to-face meeting is needed, it is arranged in advance.
How is access to the SRS EDS arranged?
The client grants MB BALANCE, or the named responsible person, the rights required for the work. The scope of access is agreed and limited to what the services actually require.
Does the company need its own accounting software?
That depends on the model of cooperation chosen and on the company's processes. The most suitable solution is agreed before work begins.
How is company information protected?
Through access rights, confidentiality requirements and agreed channels for exchanging data. Documents and information are processed only to the extent needed to deliver the service.
Can I order a one-off service?
Yes, in some cases we can agree on an annual report, tidying up the records, a consultation, a report or another specific piece of work. Whether it is possible, and at what price, is decided after reviewing the task.
How does an engagement start?
We start by gathering basic information and clarifying your needs. After assessing the volume of work we prepare a quote. Work begins once client due diligence is complete, the agreement is signed, and the necessary information and access have been received.
